The process of surface sterilizing plant materials is a difficult step in constructing tissue culture technique. Nodal explants from potted plants Solanum tuberosum L. grown the screenhouse were given various sterilization procedures before being introduced into sterile Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture. A total 16 treatments performed with varied periods immersion two sterilant successions: 70%...

There is evidence that chloride (Cl―) can lead to both an improved hydration and water use efficiency in plants due its osmotic properties. The potato crop widely assumed be sensitive Cl―. This based on studies which found tuber yield or starch reductions following a Cl― fertilization. However, there are also contradictory reports could not find any detrimental effect of fertilization plant dev...

Wireworms are the soil inhabiting larvae of click beetles and can cause severe damage to arable crops such as potatoes (Solanum tuberosum, L.). Several strains of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum (Petch) are pathogenic to wireworms. In this study, three European strains of M. brunneum were tested in the laboratory against the most damaging wireworm species in Europe, Agriotes li...

Intensive agriculture and increased N-fertilizer use have contributed to elevated emissions of the greenhouse gases, CO2, CH4, and N2O. In this study, the exchange of the greenhouse gases, CO2, N2O, and CH4, between a Quincy fine sand (mixed, mesic Xeric Torripsamments) soil and atmosphere was measured in a sweet corn (Zea mays L.) sweet corn potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) rotation during the 20...

The acceptability of four different aphid species Macrosiphum albifrons (Essig), Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas), Macrosiphum pseudorosae Patch, and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), as prey for four lady beetle species, one native species Coccinella trifasciata L, and three non-native Coccinella septempunctata L, Harmonia axyridis Pallas, Propylea quatuordecimpunctata L (Coleopte...

Early and late blight are two diseases which pose a huge risk to both potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tomato lycopersicum, L. 1753) crops make farmers run at loss. The early automatic detection of these would save time as well enable act quickly on have been affected. Machine learning deep technology provide many solutions for the in affected crops, common literature. However, explanation methods...
